The Metropolitan Opera House, often simply called "The Met", is located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, on Broadway at Lincoln Square. It opened in 1966 as part of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, replacing the former Metropolitan Opera House at Broadway and 39th St. It is the current home of the Metropolitan Opera Company. It has a seating capacity of 3800 and also can accommodate 195 standing room places. The new building officially opened on September 16, 1966, with the world premiere of Samuel Barber's Antony and Cleopatra. It was designed by architect Wallace K. Harrison.

The Metropolitan Opera House is also home to the annual Spring season of American Ballet Theatre (ABT) when the Met Opera Company is on hiatus. It regularly hosts touring opera and ballet companies including the La Scala, Kirov, and Bolshoi companies. In addition, the Met has presented recitals by Vladimir Horowitz, Kathleen Battle and others.
